Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsThe laws they are trying to ram through are horrific for women.
The fact they want to include victims, and they are victims of unwanted assault, are so over the top. They include rape and incest, violent acts against woman and they are demanding, writing laws that would make them carry a child to term. Think about it they are sanctioning violence against woman and sexual abuse of our children, our babies.
They are giving a green light to sexual abuse of women and girls without repercussions.
We are not your vessel. We are living breathing human beings with dreams of a better furure for us all.

(19,564 posts)Due to these new pending laws. She's not kidding. They have the money to leave and I can as well, but I want to fight a bit longer before I go anywhere.
All we have are women and girls. My daughter (only child) and two grand daughters ages 4 and almost 6. I have two generations of ladies, excluding myself, to still fight for here.

(90,767 posts)They think that if we have sexual intercourse already, then what's the big deal?
Even if we don't engage in sex (for whatever reason), they think we're built for it, so what's the big deal?
They think a child won't remember.
They think an infant will be OK because it won't register. (Yes, I've been told that.)
They don't see it as violence. To them, it is sex.
They don't care about the dangers of a planned pregnancy, much less a forced one.
Because that's how some god made us.
If we die while pregnant from complications related to pregnancy or during childbirth, that's some god's will.
If childbirth renders us incapacitated, that is some god's will.
These are the same people who believe "good girls" don't get raped.
It's an attack against all women, big and little.
So, no, they don't care about the circumstances.
Because it's about control of women.
It's about the contempt they have for women.
It's about them wanting obedience from women.
